tldr; Hyperliquid, a DeFi derivatives platform, suffered a $4.9 million loss after an attacker manipulated its internal liquidity system. The attacker used $3 million in USDC to open $26 million in leveraged long positions on POPCAT perpetuals, creating a synthetic buy wall to falsely signal market strength. When the wall vanished, liquidity thinned, triggering a cascade of liquidations that overwhelmed the platform's vault. This incident highlights vulnerabilities in automated liquidity mechanisms and raises concerns about synthetic volatility attacks in DeFi systems. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The money that is exiting BTC, ETH, SOL, Major Alts, and Shitcoins but not landing back in USDC/USDT is going into the ZK/Privacy infrastructure. Zero Knowledge like ZCash, ZKsnarks (ETH), STARK, Monero e.t.c. It is a macro trend and I think the liquidity heading there isn't moving back into BTC or the "surface market" anytime soon - they're expecting the bear market which may make the ZK assets ones that will rise as BTC bleeds.

sgtslaughterTV

Could've been for one of these two reasons: 1. In r/bitcoin, they don't like it when users discuss anything besides bitcoin. The word "crypto" to them largely describes any cryptocurrency that is NOT bitcoin. 2. They could have thought that when you said "crypto" you were referring to all cryptocurrency and bitcoin. If you're in a country facing big inflation problems, how do you get access to USD? In many cases, it's simply easier to get USDT or USDC. Food for thought. Embark on a good faith effort to do some research and identify where it is easier to get USD vs. USDT.

I’m 65% USDC, I’m personally excited waiting for the right time to buy some discounted coins.

I’ll give you an actual answer without trying to lecture you on the viability of the trade itself. It may not be the *best*, but it is *a* way to short. Buy USDC, deposit into a lending protocol. Borrow WBTC or an alternate wrapped BTC depending on what the rates and other factors are that you find most attractive, sell it, then deposit the proceeds back into your lending supply side. Repeat however many times you want for the amount of leverage you’re comfortable with.

I repost this for the Americans who were sleeping: Yesterday's announcement that "USDC on CashApp will use Solana" turns out to have been a paid promotion and several blockchains will be used with plans to add even more over time. https://fortune.com/2025/11/13/cash-app-stablecoins-block-bitcoin-jack-dorsey Same propaganda when they deceived people by pretending that Western Union would adopt Solana

Why not ETH? All banks and funds are developing products on Ethereum. Anything happening elsewhere is because of bribes paid by an Ethereum competitor before the development extends to Ethereum. **Last example: yesterday's announcement that "USDC on CashApp will use Solana" turns out to have been a paid promotion and several blockchains will be used with plans to add even more over time.** https://fortune.com/2025/11/13/cash-app-stablecoins-block-bitcoin-jack-dorsey

tldr; Visa has launched a pilot program for USDC stablecoin payouts via its Visa Direct platform, allowing U.S. businesses to fund payments in USD while recipients, such as freelancers and gig workers, receive funds in USDC directly to their crypto wallets. The initiative aims to accelerate cross-border payments, reducing settlement times from days to minutes, and targets users in emerging markets with limited banking access. The program leverages blockchain for transparency and could drive stablecoin adoption globally. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

USDC to $5 !!! /s

rgnet1

Yes it’s the same using stablecoin because it holds at $1, you always end up buying and selling with no gains. The problem is I did this one year with Coinbase card where I paid for everything in USDC and you then have 85 pages of transactions to submit with your tax return all amounting to zero gain. Merchants would have the same issue. If Cash App doesn’t provide this end of year report as a free service, I don’t see merchants wanting to deal with it — but maybe if it means they’re saving massively on Visa fees, who knows.

Most people don’t spend their crypto they hold it. Even folks who are deep into the space usually treat BTC and ETH more like long-term speculative assets than actual currencies. Every survey I’ve seen basically shows the same thing: people will use stablecoins for transactions, but they won’t part with their Bitcoin unless they absolutely have to. I spend stablecoins (USDC mostly) on small freelance payments, subscriptions, and occasional P2P stuff. I hold BTC and ETH because the opportunity cost of spending them feels too high. I rarely use smaller altcoins unless a platform specifically requires them. If you’re thinking about launching a cosmetics shop in Europe that takes crypto, it could still work, but you’d want to: * Support stablecoins first, since they’re what people are comfortable spending * Offer discounts or perks for paying with crypto * Make checkout dead simple (no multi-chain confusion) * Accept BTC/ETH but expect low usage * Maybe experiment with loyalty tokens or NFT memberships if your audience skews younger A lot of the hype around people “spending crypto everywhere” comes from marketing pushes like the whole Ian King Next Gen Coin promo that suggests crypto rails will replace global finance. Whether you buy into that or not, the reality right now is that most people still treat crypto as an investment, not a daily spending tool.

tldr; Visa has launched a U.S. pilot program allowing businesses to send payouts from fiat dollar accounts directly to recipients’ crypto wallets as USDC stablecoins. Announced at the Web Summit in Lisbon, the initiative uses Visa Direct for near-instant settlement and aims to address the demand for faster, borderless payments in sectors like international payments, gig work, and the creator economy. This move aligns with the recently passed GENIUS Act, which provides a federal framework for stablecoin regulation. A full rollout is planned for 2026. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

tldr; Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures, temporarily paused USDC deposits and withdrawals via the Arbitrum bridge due to scrutiny over Popcat-related trades. A community-owned vault lost $4.9 million after a trader's $20 million long positions on Popcat were liquidated. The incident raised concerns about Hyperliquid's decentralization and its handling of volatile assets. Withdrawals resumed shortly after, but the situation highlighted vulnerabilities in the platform's operations. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Only thing I regret is having money in Celsius but I actually came up from that because majority of my coins was USDC and we got like 70% in BTC and ETH. BTC went up quite a bit since that time so I actually made a couple thousand lol.

Nebeus is a financial platform that aims to bridge crypto and traditional fiat banking. It's an all in one ecosystem where you can get a crypto-friendly IBAN, a spending card, exchange, and earning programs like renting. It's built for individuals, freelancers, and businesses who operate in both worlds. In terms of crypto loans, the main point is that you can borrow cash (EUR, USD, etc.) or stablecoins against your crypto holdings without selling them. What's interesting is that they have five different *types* of loans depending on your collateral and needs. For example, they have a Bullet Loan where you use BTC, and you pay back the principal and interest in one single payment at the end of the term (no monthly payment). They also have a Flexible Loan that accepts over 20 different altcoins (like ETH, XRP, SOL) as collateral, and a StableLoan that lets you use USDC to get a loan with 95% LTV.

tldr; Metrom is powering the liquidity incentive campaign for Aave's deployment on Aptos, marking Aave's first non-EVM integration. Aave, managing over $70 billion in deposits, is live on Aptos, with Metrom distributing $APT rewards to liquidity providers supplying stablecoins like $USDC and $USDT. Providers can earn ~8% APR on top of base yields. Incentives apply to net-new liquidity suppliers, with rewards distributed every 24 hours. This collaboration aims to enhance DeFi lending on Aptos through scalable and sustainable reward mechanisms. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I would like to say Nebeus, if compliance and security is in your priority and definitely with clear terms and conditions. Nebeus is a financial app based in Spain that tries to connect crypto and regular money. They are registered with the Bank of Spain as a Virtual Asset Service Provider which covers their custody and exchange services. They offer a various type of loan like Stable loan, Flexible, Bullet and so on. **StableLoan:** This is for capital efficiency. You can use stablecoins (USDC/EUROC) as collateral and get a loan at 95% LTV, 4% interest annually. **Flexible Loan:** This is for altcoin holders. It accepts over 20 different tokens as collateral (like ETH, XRP, SOL), so you can get liquidity from a diverse portfolio. 12.5-16.5% interest annually. **Bullet Loan:** This is for the long-term BTC HODLer. You use BTC as collateral and pay back *both* the principal and interest in one single payment at the end of the term. No monthly payments. 10% interest annually.

I did …..I actually did an extensive research after I posted this ……Bittensor has a lot of subnets but the big problem with them is adoption on those subnets …most of their subnets do not have many on it and it is NOT generating money for TAO itself ……that made me not invest in it …I threw 5500 on Chainlink instead and the other 5500 on USDC for now

I want a bank that lets me withdraw my balance as stablecoins as seamlessly as it is to withdraw as cash at a ATM or swipe my card and buy something. They can pick whatever chain they want, whatever doofball stablecoin or bank deposit token or what they want, just have USDC:TheToken pools on DEXs, Fully integrating is the only way the stay relevant for another hundred years. They *should* be the best bridge between tradfi and crypto. If they willingly hand it over to some newcomer, they've earned their fate.

Non-fungible_tacos

Very relevant topic as I've been thinking about this recently. I've got a couple of vaults earning 8%+ on USDC, but so far I'm only putting small amounts in them. I'd say I've got 90% of my investments in traditional accounts, and 10% in crypto (stablecoins specifically). I'm wondering at what point I pull the plug and switch to more crypto?

Not because I'm some “fiat is evil” maximalist - but because after watching interest rates, inflation, and fees eat away at my balance for years, it finally clicked: the traditional system is designed to make you hold money that constantly loses value.The final straw was seeing my bank proudly advertise 2% savings interest while inflation was running at 5-6%. Come on.. that's not saving - that's slow-motion losing. So I switched things up. I started keeping a portion of my cash in stablecoins (USDT, USDC, etc.) on a crypto wealth platform instead of my bank. Here's what changed: * My balance stopped silently eroding - stablecoins stay pegged to the dollar, so I know exactly what I'm holding. * I started earning actual yield on it. Platforms like Nехо pay up to 14% annually (depending on the asset and loyalty tier). Even at the lower end, that's miles ahead of any “high-yield” bank account. * I can access it anytime, without begging for approval or waiting for a business day. What really sealed the deal, though, was being able to spend directly from that balance. I keep a small portion of my stablecoins liquid and just use my card when I need to pay for something. No need to convert, no need to transfer from savings. It's just there, earning yield until the moment I use it.I get that some people don't trust stablecoins or platforms. Fair enough - DYOR and manage risk. But for me, the risk of holding cash in a system where the rules change every quarter and my money loses value by design is far worse.The truth is, your bank doesn't reward you for being responsible anymore. It punishes you with inflation and fees. The crypto ecosystem, for all its noise, at least gives you the option to make your money work while staying liquid. I still keep some funds in fiat for bills and emergencies, but I treat that as spending money, not savings. My real savings are stable, earning, and flexible.We've entered a weird phase of finance where banks are stuck in the past, and crypto is quietly building what the future already looks like - yield on your idle money, instant access, and global utility. And honestly, it just feels better knowing my money isn't sitting somewhere doing nothing. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Hi, I've been trading crypto for 2 months now and I'm having a problem. Can anyone help me exchange Bitcoin for USDC?

volsmitdo

If it’s flagged as “blacklisted,” it means that specific USDC contract address or tokens are frozen at the issuer level. No DEX swap will work because the tokens themselves can’t move. Liquidity isn’t the real issue here. Your only honest path is to contact Circle/USDC support and TON/bridge support to verify the status and whether a review or release is possible. If they confirm it’s frozen for compliance reasons, you likely can’t recover or move it. Avoid trying shady “unlock” services.

theweb3voyager

Wow, perfect plan! You’ve come to the right place. Just send **$100** to `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913` and watch your balance grow by **124% every single day,** guaranteed! We’re **fully licensed, institutionally backed, and trusted by every major bank** (except the ones that exist). Our team of *blockchain experts* works tirelessly to ensure your money is multiplied, mostly by moving it into the void. Don’t worry, we’re 100% transparent — the address is even public! (It’s literally the **USDC smart contract**, by the way.) Totally safe. Totally real. Go figure. 🙃 Admin this is sarcasm, don't block me pleeeeease.

Circle's new blockchain for USDC will help fix this problem

Arminius001

Which coin would benefit from this? I know the government is trying to go the route of stablecoins specifically USDC but what about other crypto, would they actually even be used? I'd love some input on this

Django_McFly

How much are you trying to move? There's DEXs on Solana where it looks like you don't hit 1% price impact for anything less than 400 ZEC. You'd get USDC and then USDC should be relatively straightforward to turn into whatever you need.

This update highlights significant financial growth, key integrations, new sponsorships, and upcoming governance proposals that will shape the next phase of the DAO’s development. The DAO continues to progress toward formal legal registration through MIDAO, expanding partnerships, and strengthening DeFi use cases for Moons. In the weeks since the last update, we have seen strong revenue inflows, expanded liquidity positions, and new integrations that continue to bring real utility and value to the ecosystem. # 1. General Overview and Useful Links Moons on Arbitrum One are now being used more actively than ever before. With lending, trading, and DAO-owned liquidity positions all growing, Arbitrum One has become the center of onchain activity for Moon holders. Nearly half of all non-burned Moons are now productive in DeFi pools or DAO-managed liquidity, showing that the ecosystem is thriving with engaged users, integrations, and real usage. CCMOON DAO Constitution v0.2.1 (current version): [https://docsend.com/v/xqhb9/ccmoondaoconstitution](https://docsend.com/v/xqhb9/ccmoondaoconstitution) Website: [https://ccmoons.com/](https://ccmoons.com/) r/CryptoCurrency Advertising FAQ: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mGjm3P\_khN29cu1OjyYbS8LcCM-rTvEfAuieSHrpvlc/edit?tab=t.0](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mGjm3P_khN29cu1OjyYbS8LcCM-rTvEfAuieSHrpvlc/edit?tab=t.0) Governance: [https://snapshot.box/#/s:cryptomods.eth](https://snapshot.box/#/s:cryptomods.eth) r/CryptoCurrency Advertising Pitch Deck: [https://docsend.com/v/xqhb9/rccpitchdeck](https://docsend.com/v/xqhb9/rccpitchdeck) Transparency Report: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TZVE\_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/edit?gid=0#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TZVE_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/edit?gid=0#gid=0) Current DAO Officers: Executive Director: u/002_timmy Treasurer: u/jwinterm Secretary: u/MaeronTargaryen Marketing Officer: u/mvea Moderation Officer: u/CryptoMaximalist Technology & Infrastructure Officer: u/rickribera93 Community Engagement Officer: Vacant Ecosystem Growth Officer: Vacant # 2. Treasury Overview As of November 9, 2025, the DAO Treasury holds approximately $12,168 in non-Moon assets and 823,192 Moons. Moons decreased by 25,000, representing a transfer to the Community Currency App Bot to refill rewards for outstanding distributions. ETH remains unchanged in quantity but decreased in fiat value due to price movement. The DAO’s stablecoin holdings increased significantly as more sponsorship payments were received. Treasury Holdings: |Asset|Balance|Value (USD)| |:-|:-|:-| |Moons|823,192|$52,157| |ETH|0.83683|$2,998| |USDC|6,826|$6,826| |USDT|1,301|$1,301| |ARB|1,848|$556| |USDC.E (bridged)|487|$487| Non-Moon value: $12,168 Change since last update: +$3,417 Stablecoin value (USDC, USDT, USDC.E): $8,614 Change in stablecoins since last update: +$3,489 # 3. Burn Summary Arbitrum One: 1,038,094 Moons burned Arbitrum Nova: 3,189,800 Moons burned Total burned: 4,227,894 Moons Since the October 30 update: • Arbitrum Nova increased by 57,546 Moons (largely from Kraken’s burn event) • Arbitrum One increased by 117 Moons • Combined total increase: 57,663 Moons burned These burns highlight continued advertiser demand and the positive impact of large-scale partner events on Moon supply reduction. # 4. DAO-Owned Liquidity (DOL) The DAO now operates two Uniswap liquidity positions to improve balance and fee efficiency. First position (original pool, 0.05% fee tier): • Composition: 67,654 Moons and 960 USDC • Value: $5,455 • Total fees earned since last update: $134.37 • Breakdown: 1,081 Moons and 62.53 USDC collected • These fees will be redeployed into liquidity after collection Second position (new pool, 0.3% fee tier): • Composition: 2,379 Moons and 126.02 USDC • Value: $284.08 • Fees earned: $0.74 Combined DAO-owned liquidity value: $5,739.08 Change since last update: +$1,948 These two positions give the DAO flexibility to capture more trading volume during price swings and maintain deeper market presence without needing to sell Moons for rebalancing. # 5. Distribution Updates Polygon Labs has contributed $5,000 in POL tokens to the DAO, equivalent to 25,000 POL for distribution to subreddit users. For Moon Week 68, the DAO will distribute 6,820 Moons, reflecting cumulative revenue-based allocation since Epochs 67 and 68. The Community Currency App is now fully back online. Redundancies have been added to ensure users can always claim their rewards in the event of future outages. Since the last update on October 29, the DAO received $8,284 in new revenue from Kraken, Monad, [Rails.xyz](http://Rails.xyz), Quickswap, and ETH Strategy. Kraken’s payment was a pure burn, so the DAO will make up the equivalent amount by allocating future revenues to the Distribution, Treasury, and DAO-Owned Liquidity pools before resuming additional burns. # 6. Governance and Upcoming Proposals Two major proposals will go live this Moon Week: 1. Formalizing CCMOON DAO as a legal Marshall Islands non-profit DAO LLC through MIDAO. 2. Authorizing DAO officers to negotiate advertising partnerships with protocols, projects, or personalities that add utility and visibility to Moons. These votes mark key next steps for formal structure and operational autonomy within the DAO. # 7. Teller Integration and Moon Utility Moons are officially live on Teller, and users can now use their Moons as collateral to borrow USDC or deposit them to earn yield. Teller held an AMA on the subreddit to guide users through the process. This integration provides another major use case for Moons in DeFi. Teller’s initial incentive pool is paying a high APY for Moon deposits, funded directly by their treasury, though rewards will decrease over time as total deposits grow. # 8. Future Plans The DAO’s top priority remains completing legal registration with MIDAO as a Marshall Islands DAO LLC. This will formalize structure, provide legal protection, and enable direct contracting with partners. Other active initiatives include: • Continuing DeFi integrations like Teller and Uniswap liquidity expansion • Pursuing grants to support DEX integrations on [ccmoons.com](http://ccmoons.com) • Building faster bridge solutions between Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One • Hosting recurring AMAs and live DAO updates across platforms to expand beyond Reddit That concludes the CCMOON DAO update for November 9, 2025. The next update will provide results from the Moon Week 68 governance votes, updated revenue totals, and any additional partnership or liquidity developments. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I tend to think that you should buy around 35% below the ATH. Whether that price will be around $44k (based on the current top) or $140k (if the cycle top is $400k) doesn’t matter to me. I’ve stopped checking the price for a year. I’ve been in this for too long, and I’ve lived through too many drawdowns. What matters is that I’ll be able to re-enter toward the end of the next bear market with the USDC I’m holding now.

akmeil

I sold for a much more comfortable life. I kept 25% of my portfolio in BTC. From the remaining 75%, I put two-thirds (so in total 50%) into USDC, so I can re-enter in 1–2 years. The remaining 25% I converted to fiat and placed into government bonds with state guarantee (low yield, but safe). In two years, that part will go into VWCE. I’m also expecting a correction there before buying.

Early_Level9277

Yup, I commented the same thing on another comment. Every time I bought something with my coinbase card it sold USDC and then you get your reward in BTC. Every single purchase is technically a taxable event as you are selling a stable coin and then getting your reward in BTC. So when you sell that BTC it’s also taxable and if I recall my cost basis was not tracked so my account was super pissed when I turned over my form with hardly any information to go off. I stopped using this card for this reason

Early_Level9277

How do taxes work on this? I had the coinbase card a few years back and every time I bought sometime it created a taxable event by selling USDC then I’d get transferred BTC or whatever coin I chose as a reward. When I got my tax form my accountant was not pleased.

DeFi is everything--it's the prize!! Because of its power, it poses an existential threat to all centralized players. If self-interest continues to run the show, DeFi will be quietly murdered in a stealth abandonment campaign led by those fearing irrelevance. The following big picture observation (posted Nov 11, 2025) comes from @JourneyMacro on X: "Five digit ETH still inevitable in 2026. CEXs will be kicking and screaming all the way. We need to do our part to make x402 (new AI payments protocol) use ETH instead of USDC. We also need to push for an ETH-focused stablecoin issuer to recycle profits back into ETH. $2 Trillion in stablecoins are coming and most will run on Ethereum. CEXs will do their best to push alt L1s and we need to counter with push-back." \---------------- "Investing in BTC as a Treasury asset promotes CeFi instead of DeFi, as BTC's payment rails are limited. CEXs are pushing for BTC as the Treasury asset while coding USD as the global reserve stablecoin. In the long term, CEXs are engineering a transition from a USD/UST (Tether) standard that they effectively control. Why? Because CEXs have appointed themselves the centralized guardians of crypto rails to stay relevant. We need ETH-focused CEXs and stablecoins issuers to reinvest profits back into ETH." "Show me incentive, and I will show you the outcome." --Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway \---------------- @ JourneyMacro responds to the news below: "I rest my case." JUST IN: Robinhood is considering buying bitcoin for its balance sheet. \[unavailable illustration showing Robinhood and Bitcoin logos\]

Yeah USDT and USDC is used way more, also SOL for meme gambling

I currently just use pivy, just need a custom pivy link for the project and done. Love that it supports USDC from any chain, so no friction there. And I don't need to dox my wallet address. Just a link like: [https://pivy.me/pivy](https://pivy.me/pivy) \-> pivy is the username

I would rather stick with USDC than trust some random stablecoin.

USDC is backed dollar to dollar by Circle. USDT is backed by cocaine and hookers.

Yea, I don't even know why anyone use USDC or USDT, at that point why not just use actual USD? XD

Because USDC and USDT can fail the exact same way.

Why would anyone use anything other than USDC or USDT.

sigh_duck

Only tether hasnt depegged. I sold when USDC depegged during the Silicon Valley Bank debacle because I had seen so many stable coins collapse at that point.

idkeverynameistaken9

I’ve never heard of this stablecoin and wonder why anyone should have used it. And after the Luna debacle, I’m kinda glad that these days I can only trade MICA-compliant stable coins in the EU. This regulation makes sure the stablecoins at least have the basics checked in terms of reserve backing and stuff. I only use USDC and staking rewards are still pretty good

Traditional-Fan-9315

Ah I see. Still, 100 million isn't really a lot when you see USDC and USDT at a combined 250 billion.

tenor_tymir

Why would anyone invest in anything different than USDT or USDC?

KIG45

I don't look at any other stablecoin besides USDC and I'm still scared.

Buy USDC on Kraken Pro, send it to you (rabby) wallet on Arbitrum, deposit the USDC on Hyperliquid. Trade on Hyperliquid.

tldr; Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has updated its terms of service to allow legal firearm purchases using USDC. This change follows criticism from gun rights advocates and organizations like the National Shooting Sports Foundation, who argued the previous policy discriminated against lawful commerce. Circle clarified that USDC can now be used for transactions involving firearms, aligning with Second Amendment rights. The move has sparked debate over financial neutrality and the influence of political agendas on private companies. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Tip-Actual

On Defi you can do yield farming. For e.g. deposit BTC as collateral on Aave and take out a USDC loan between 5 and 6%. You can then bridge over that USDC to a different chain or protocol which pays a higher APY like 9-10%. You just monetized BTC and started earning a yield of around 4-5% APY (yield difference).

Akhil-Stronghold

For Solana your best bet is actually having USDC and using Jupiter Exchange to DCA to liquid staking token like strongSOL. This means you are DCAing into SOL but its earning yield as you do and near no cost for each buy

DBRiMatt

You are probably better off using another CEX like Coinspot or swyftx, to onramp funds, buy USDC and then send to your Crypto.com exchange. I only Use the Crypto.com app to on-ramp AUD to load directly into my card for day to day transactions - their spreads and fees are too high to buy or swap crypto on them.

Well if you look at a coin.. let’s say it’s $3 per and makes 7% yield which is good so you put money into it .. then it drops to $2 The gains are erased Ask an AI which USDC staking is best for you in your country USDC should remain stable unless the USA collapses which is possible

DreamingTooLong

Base chain also does a lot of of the same things BEP20 does Going back-and-forth between USDC and BTC or ETH

NoStress42069

Find something reputable that pays close to 10% there are a few sites that pay for staking USDC ( benefit is that doesn’t fluctuate) I’ve seen 6-7%

hackmonite

Have been using u/Teller\_Yield for the last month or so and loving the yield opportunities for Base Token exposure USDC yield pumped to \~ 35 - 40% this week based on people taking out loans to buy the dip (guessing here) Some simple feature requests I would like to see: \- A claim all button for staking / supply rewards \- Clearer UX for what opportunities I have to take a loan and earn greater interest than what is owed for said loan (farming) \- Potential integration with Banker (BNKR) or Superfluid for streaming paybacks of loans \- A Share button when claiming to X / Farcaster to show how much you are earning on telller Overall loving the platform and has been one of the better finds over the last couple months, can't wait for the next update

It's not about USDC, it is about Tether. And the problem is very simply speaking about one thing and one thing only: Human greed. They could cheat, profit immensely, and not a single soul would know, except for the two hand full of employees they have and some lawers. Also: Occam's razor. The simplest explanation as to why they wouldnt go ahead and get a full audit by one of the top 5 auditing firms is, that they dont want to. Why wouldnt they want to get audited by one of the top 5 firms? Because they have something to hide. Based on the two above assumptions, the rational conclusion is that the probability of them committing fraud is extremely high, simply because a) they can and b) they dont do the one thing that swipes away all the doubt. That being said, it does not mean that it will collapse soon or ever, for that matter. If Tether is backed only 90%, 75%, 60%, 50%, it might never lead to a collapse of the firm.

Not bad at all. However, stablecoin success if far from guaranteed. First mover advantage for USDT (and USDC as well) is huge.

start with stablecoins like USDC for low risk... then maybe add some bitcoin or ethereum gradually... i track everything in alicebob wallet to keep it simple.

The Big 2 crypto USDT and USDC

ZekeTarsim

My crypto portfolio is literally 65% USDC right now.

Grunblau

Look at other protocols that will pay you at least 5% for USDC.

graytleapforward

The biggest problem is it has no users and no liquidity. They fucked up big-time by not onboarding USDC and /or USDT. Anyhow it, and most of the other layer ones are totally irrelevant.

National-Car-Shipp

Bro every time I think this and just buy at market price instead of putting a limit order, I keep thinking it’s gonna be the time it shoots to $187k and my order will be sitting is USDC so I just buy at market price, every single time the price goes down another 2/4% and I would have hit my Limit order

the_gamer_guy56

Break it up into smaller transactions and use defi. I like jumper and symbiosis. Both will let you set slippage so the execution of the transaction doesn't happen if the price difference between the quote and the actual rate that is about to be locked in moves unfavourablely by that %. Jumper and Symbiosis have it set to 1% or maybe 0.5% by default. May want to lower it for very large amounts since 1% can be thousands of dollars. ETH-USDC is a huge pair and AAMs usually have millions in liquidity for it.

I should have been more specific indeed, I'll edit that. My question was about USDC, USDT, EURC...

More search seems to contradict so might be fine - https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/trading-and-funding/loan/loan-intro https://www.coinbase.com/blog/now-get-a-USDC-loan-without-selling-your-bitcoin

Ajfox1974

Exactly. I think it’s going to fall a lot more than it has and I plan to DCA after it drops further rather than ride it down and lose more profit than I already have lost. I did the same thing with Sol, sold it at $196 and rebought at $120ish after it had dropped to $90. I figure the lower it goes the better, to an extent. I just sold 100% of everything (Btc, Eth, Sol, & XRP) for USDC. I didn’t get into crypto until March ‘24 and by the time I’d figured out which coins to focus on, they’d all pumped a lot, so I see this as an opportunity to lower my average cost.

Ajfox1974

I was only in bitcoin. Sol, eth, and XRP and I sold it all for USDC yesterday. I’m planning on buying it all back as it drops to new lows. It’s already dropped since I sold, each one. I’m planning on buying back XRP at 2.00, $1.75, 1.50, Sol at $150 and below, btc at $100, etc.

I would consider Ready’s metal card. Self-custody, spends USDC directly, no FX worldwide, no transaction fees, and cashback up to 10% during boosts. Super fast off-ramp and no seed phrase hassles. Been smooth for travel. If you want a simple USDC card with solid rewards, give Ready a look.

MaleficentPrune652

I've seen big USDC-ETH swaps done on major exchanges like Kraken that often come through fast, though DEXs like Uniswap can be hit or miss with their liquidity. My take is just what I've noticed.

HoxHound

Anyone here wanna help me with $0.10 of Solana? I got sent USDC in the Solana network, and I can't move it out because I don't have Solana balance for the gas fee.

>I also pay my friend to confirm that I'm the emperor of China. By popular demand. Get BDO to attest that you're the emperor of China. >They fraudulently claimed to have their tokens backed 1:1 by dollar reserves, until it was proven that they didn't. They didn't have 1 USDT = 1 USD in a bank account at some point, but they always had 1 USDT = 1 USD in assets including bank deposits and loans. What is a bank deposit? It is a loan to a bank. It is oddly better that Tether diversified away from 1 USDT = 1 USD in a bank account as it reduces counterparty risk. >They never had a proper audit. Neither does USDC.

North-Exchange5899

Maybe grab USDT or USDC first, then DCA.. Would save from paying credit card fees three times, and it’s just easier to move money around.

GreedVault

credit card --- buy ( USDC > USDT ) first --- DCA ( BTC > ETH > SOL )

funkinaround

They never refused outside accounting. Tether Truthers are just moving goalposts from "no one knows if they have reserves" to "they won't do a full audit", even though USDC provides the same type of attestations from an independent auditor.

I sold some this weekend and today. 106-111. With trading stocks and crypto, I personally feel that bitcoin has been taken over by wall street. the ETFs rule it. a down market is a down bitcoin. but worse is that bitcoin front runs and has even higher volatility. SNP choppiness leads to larger chops down by btc with smaller recoveries up. Govt/institutional buyers are using it as a store of value but its losing value - and retail isn't buying enough to have any momentum. Every rally is getting sold. Instead I'm thinking that the crypto revolution is stablecoins. Faster to send stablecoins than wire. I sold some bitcoin and sent the USDC to my robinhood in seconds. Feels like we are going to dump below 100 this month. SPY dump to 670 will easily bring BTC under 90.

Every_Hunt_160

Accumulate the Big 3: USDT, USDC and DAI

dirodvstw

The only coin I’m holding right now is USDC

Rare_Rich6713

Totally get you I stopped using my old exchange card years ago too and had to re-research the scene recently. Short version: a few solid options still exist but availability + perks depend a lot on your country and whether you want top-tier rewards or just simple USDC/USDT spending. Crypto com still has one of the more polished Visa cards if they support your region., Coinbase Card is another easy one if you’re already on their platform., xPortal Card is also worth checking it lets you spend crypto via a prepaid Mastercard, supports top-ups with stablecoins, and works smoothly through the xPortal app., Binance Card can be great where available, though it’s pretty region-limited right now., If your goal is to spend USDT/USDC directly, I’d look into which of these support stablecoin top-ups with low conversion fees. Out of curiosity are you mainly looking for cashback perks or just something simple and reliable for everyday spending?

Who cares. My money at a bank is also just a token. All I know is when I tranfer money from my Canadian bank to my european bank it takes a couple of days and I easily lose 2%. To my filipino bank it's even worse, a wire transfer eats like 20 CAD on both sides. Send a 100 cad, receive 40. Apple pay, revolute, rupay, it does not work withy my filipino bank. Only gcash and pay maya but they are not supported in Canada. So instead I spend 15 minutes making an e-tranfer to a Canadian crypto exchange, buy some USDC, send it to Binance and exchange it on their P2P market for php, which means filipino people are buying my USDC and then sending their php from their filipino bank account straight to mine. This process takes 15 minutes and the rates are so competitive I sometimes get a CAD/PHP exchange rate ABOVE market. I once gained a 150 CAD on a 4000 CAD transfer. I don't care about the rest. This is the fastest and the cheapest for ME.

pedronegreiros94

No way, I remember those days, stable coins losing their pegs (even USDT and USDC) and BTC sub 20k. That was the all time low of crypto sentiment.

Rare-Energy-4357

No problem at all! Stablecoins are essentially the crypto world's answer to digital cash, and the excitement in 2025 isn't about their price going up, but about them becoming the fast, profitable backbone of global money movement. For the average person, the main way to "make money" is by using them to earn a much better return than a traditional bank account. Specifically, instead of just sitting in your savings account earning near-zero interest, you can hold stablecoins like USDC and lend them out on secure platforms often for yields in the $5\\%$-$10\\%$ range, which is vastly higher. For example, when I want to set aside cash for a big purchase next year, I convert the fiat into USDC on a regulated platform and place it into a 'yield' program. Since I know the USDC will stay pegged to $1, I'm simply turning my idle dollars into a secure, high-interest asset that works 24/7 without the hassle or fees of moving money internationally, ensuring I don't miss out on passive income while keeping my cash safe and ready to spend.

It appears you do have 22.44 USDC in your wallet. But SOL is what powers the wallet. Without some SOL, you can't do anything. It's like this: think about the gasoline that you put in your car. There's gas in your car, and you're probably used to paying dollars to get more gas for your car. Right now, you have a car that has literally zero gasoline. Sure, it has $22.44 in cash sitting inside the car. Normally, you're used to being able to use the cash in order to buy gas, but you need to make it to the gas station first. Your $22.44 is not capable of purchasing any gasoline because you're not at the gas station. Your 22.44 USD is not capable of purchasing any SOL because you have no SOL to power the transaction.

1. Currently it's not widely used as a payment because it's still has volatility. The volatility reduced, at some point it will become less even compared to fiat currencies. At that point BTC would be considered "stable" and "safe", and USD / any other fiat as "risky" "volatile" and "unsafe". 2. Currently people in a lot of countries with shit currencies (even compared to usd) actively use BTC for saving and stablecoins (USDT / USDC / etc.) for purchases (simply because most prices now in USD). But it will change, and BTC or BTC based stablecoins would be used.

tldr; The demographics of cryptocurrency users are shifting, with stablecoins like USDT and USDC now accounting for 40% of global crypto trading volume. Emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America are driving this change, using crypto for practical purposes like remittances and small-value payments. New users prioritize utility over ideology, often relying on custodial wallets and simplified security measures. To support this trend, crypto platforms must focus on seamless security, user-friendly interfaces, and practical solutions for financial inclusion. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

XRP is technically not a scam but you own a piece of a network which generates 0 revenue with a company that holds 50% of that asset and does nothing but sell it to increase the value of that company and their shareholders. Not technically a scam, but as close to one as you can get since it's advertised as something it is not. It's ownership over a dead network. Not a currency. It's like buying ownership of some convenience store no one shops at and makes no money. It's not a scam to buy ownership over it, but it's dumb. The shop owner knows it makes no money. He's going to keep selling his ownership over that shop until there are no more interested buyers. In order for new buyers to seriously need to be interested in buying ownership of the shop, the shop needs to actually make money that comes back to the owners. That's not happening. You don't long term invest in something that no one uses & generates 0 returns to the owners. Your dad is now part owner of something no one uses, makes 0 revenue, and this other group (the issuer) owns the majority and has no choice but to keep selling their pieces of ownership in order to keep their group happy. A really, really, bad financial decision but not completely a scam. "Crypto" has one legitimate publicly managed currency. It's called Bitcoin. Every other token in existence is ownership over something else and that something else better generate returns to the owners or their value bleeds to 0. Few exceptions like tokenized commodities such as gold or tokenized fiat such as USDC, but you should understand the point. Everything gets tokenized. Everything in the world is crypto. All crypto can be used as currency. Only tokenized fiat or Bitcoin is actually valued as currency by serious people. Most everything else needs activity and revenue or bust.
